The National Guard troops that President Trump sent to the U.S.–Mexico border in April are performing menial tasks to assist U.S. Border Patrol.

The soldier, first reported by Politico on Thursday, said they have been feeding Border Patrol's horses and shoveling manure.

Sgt. Jonathan Sanchez, a cook, told the outlet that he often does maintenance on Border Patrol’s vehicles.
